OMFG.
I was unemployed for more than 2 years after 2008 and it took me several more to get a job in my field.
And 10+ years to even approach the income I was making in 2008.
But yeah, let’s remove the straitjackets on the financial systems, they’re the victims here. 🙄

Primary them all and block anybody who comes with the “at this crucial juncture the most important thing is that we win.” if they believed that they wouldn’t do this and with friends like them nobody needs enemies
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.
Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

Fibroids are common, about 70-80% of women develop them by age 50. But the first time dealing with them can be alarming. For writer Raina Lipsitz, it resulted in a pool of blood under her desk. “Was the ceiling weeping blood, like something out of a horror movie?"

It’s stunning that an entire political party is willing to live with this and, worse, exploits efforts to prevent gun violence to hang on to power.

It sure is something watching Girl Guides protest the exclusion of their trans members, at the same time as the BBC pushes someone out for being a trans ally and routinely updates their news articles to insert transphobic terminology.

Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control.

Foreign tourists could be required to disclose 5 years of social media histories under Trump administration plan
The Customs and Border Protection proposal would apply even to countries that don't require visas to enter.

Israel’s genocide on Palestinians has 8% support from Democrats but 71% support from MAGAs
If you’re an elected Dem still taking AIPAC $ or still silent on genocide—you’re on the wrong side of history, or a MAGA

tonight while recording a guest spot on a podcast i experienced an unacceptable level of disrespect from one of the hosts. so i decided to do what felt right for me and i left. i didn’t need to stick around to show i’m “tough” or “thick skinned.” i reminded myself that no one is owed my time.

I’ve been saying this for some time. And the networks/outlets need to speak up too. It should be made clear that his behavior is unacceptable.
It’s way past time for every WH reporter to speak out to Trump’s face when he’s insulting female reporters. Is your access so critical that you’ll allow your colleagues to be abused?
